Understanding Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a nose job, is a specialized cosmetic surgical procedure designed to alter the contours and structure of the nose. The procedure involves modifying nasal bone tissue and cartilage to achieve desired aesthetic or functional improvements.

Procedure Objectives

Patients seek rhinoplasty for various reasons, including:

• Enhancing facial symmetry
• Correcting structural defects
• Improving breathing function
• Addressing post-injury nasal deformities

Surgical Approach

Dr. Hagarty's rhinoplasty technique focuses on comprehensive facial assessment, ensuring that nose modifications complement overall facial features. The procedure involves precise adjustments to nasal skin, cartilage, and bone structure.

Rhinoplasty Procedure Details

The surgical process typically involves local anesthesia combined with sedation or general anesthesia. Depending on the specific surgical requirements, Dr. Hagarty will perform the procedure through internal nasal incisions or a small external incision between the nostrils.

Customized Surgical Planning

Each rhinoplasty is uniquely tailored to the patient's anatomical structure and aesthetic goals. The surgeon considers factors such as tissue composition, nasal architecture, and desired outcome when developing the surgical strategy.

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients can return home the same day following the procedure. Recovery time and specific post-operative instructions will be comprehensively discussed during the initial consultation.
